Could the all of the Tencent cloud kindly please fuck off back to China?

Those assholes don't even publish their IP ranges so one could easily block their ass.

Had to rely on external tools and hunt down all of their different ASNs to finally block them from overloading a client's webapp...

Ugh, I need a beer.

Microsoft buys npm
Am I the only one seeing a tendency of a few big companies (Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yandex, Tencent and 10-15 more) slowly (or not so slowly) acquiring more and more small companies? I hope however that it stays as transparent to the end user; I also hope it even helps, because I hate getting used to a product/service and then the company dropping it because they have no resource and/or interest in supporting it (Google Inbox anyone?)

I had a dream that devRant introduced new avatars but you had to sign in with a Tencent account to get one

How do you define a app's nationality?

Right now India is banning Chinese app due to India-China border issue.

So how do you define? Based on the company location? Their developers location ? If a software contains a open source Chinese package, do you consider it's a Chinese app?

What about the case of PUBG mobile. The mobile version to publish by Tencent, so is it a Chinese app?
